I finally did it! I donn't really understand why it didn't work the first time, yet here's how it works.
PROCEDURE compile_forms_fs IS
cmdstr varchar2(500);
x_file text_io.file_type;
x_module varchar2(200);
x_output varchar2(200);
n number;
BEGIN
x_file:=text_io.fopen(:blocu.source_path| |'list.bat', 'W');
din directorul curent
cmdstr:='dir '| |:blocu.source_path| |'*.fmb /b > '| |
:blocu.source_path| |'forms_l.txt';
text_io.put(x_file, cmdstr);
text_io.fclose(x_file);
host(:blocu.source_path| |'list.bat', no_screen); -- this gets the .fmb files list
-- why didn't the direct host('dir...') work?
x_file:=text_io.fopen(:blocu.source_path| |'forms_l.txt', 'R');
loop
begin
text_io.get_line(x_file, x_module);
:blocu.dsp_file:='Compilez '| |x_module;
synchronize;
exception
when others then exit ; -- nu mai are ce citi din fisier
end;
begin
compile_1form(x_module);
exception
when others then null;
end;
end loop;
text_io.fclose(x_file);
END;
